A fresh auction concept and platform, this sale celebrates works from the avant-garde to the contemporary. Creating a dialogue between established and respected artists from the early twentieth century to boundary pushing contemporary figures, Modern & Contemporary Art explores the discerning and curated taste of today’s collector. Modern classics from renowned artists Joan Miró, Léonard Tsuguharu Foujita and Max Ernst are in conversation with works by 2019 Turner Prize nominee Oscar Murillo and contemporary female artists including Cecily Brown, Giosetta Fioroni and Jenny Holzer. A dynamic grouping of Italian Futurism from the first half of the twentieth century precedes captivating works from the Op Art Movement executed in the 70s, discussing two key periods of the past century. A further highlight of the sale is the rare and complete group of 131 full-sized skateboard decks by Supreme. One of the most sought-after apparel brands in the world, Supreme has successfully blurred the boundaries between streetwear, visual culture and the arts. Collaborating with contemporary artists Cindy Sherman, Gilbert & George, Urs Fischer and Raymond Pettibon to name a few, Supreme’s designs are exclusive and highly coveted. 1 AR GIOSETTA FIORONI (B. 1932) Liberty, 1967 signed and dated giosetta fioroni ‘67 (lower right) metallic enamel and graphite on paper 50 x 69.9 cm. 19 11/16 x 27 1/2 in. £4,500 - 6,500 US$5,700 - 8,200 €5,100 - 7,300 Provenance Collection of the artist, Rome Sale: Bonhams, London, Vision 21, 30 June 2010, lot 231 Acquired directly from the above by the present owner For details of the charges payable in addition to the final Hammer Price of each Lot please refer to paragraphs 7 & 8 of the Notice to Bidders at the back of the catalogue.

My dissertation uses a variety of critical methods (socio-political, historical, philological, narratological and feminist), along with the stylistic analysis and close reading of individual works, to study and assess the importance of Fillia’s literature, theater, art, political activism, and beyond. Far from being derivative and reactionary in form and content, as interwar futurism has often been characterized, Fillia’s works deploy subtler, but no less innovative forms of experimentation. For most of his brief but highly productive life, Fillia lived and worked in Turin, where in the early 1920s he came into contact with Antonio Gramsci and his factory councils.

  • Ernst Ludwig Kirchner 1880 Aschaffenburg – 1938 Davos
    Ernst Ludwig Kirchner 1880 Aschaffenburg – 1938 Davos The German Expressionist painter and printmaker Ernst Ludwig Kirchner was a founding member of the artists group "Die Brücke" (The Bridge) in Dresden in 1905 along with Fritz Bleyl, Erich Heckel and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff. All four were architecture students at the Königliche Technische Hochschule in Dresden. Staunchly opposed to academic tradition, they set out to create a new style of artistic expression which would pave the way for modernity – a bridge between the conservative past and a more liberal present, between the artist and society in general. In the space of a few years "Die Brücke" became the hotbed of German Expressionism, with Kirchner emerging as its charismatic centre. Its programme of collective exhibitions, subscriptions to annual portfolios of prints and targeted media distribution brought the group increasing public recognition. Its Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Self-Portrait, 1919 membership expanded to include the artists Max Pechstein (1906-12), Otto Mueller (1910-13), and briefly, Emil Nolde (1906-7). It also enjoyed the support of passive members, such as the influential art historian and patron Rosa Schapire who joined in 1907. In 1911 the group shifted its activities to Berlin, the epicentre of artistic life in Germany. But in 1913, controversy among the members led to the group’s dissolution. From then on, Kirchner distanced himself increasingly from his former colleagues, although he continued to draw on the fertile creative exchange of the Brücke years. Today, his work is widely seen as the embodiment of German Expressionism and underscores his role as a central figure in Classical Modernism.

  • PDF Findbuch Galerie Des 20. Jahrhunderts
    Aktenüberlieferung der Galerie des 20. Jahrhunderts im Zentralarchiv der Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin II/B Galerie des 20. Jahrhunderts – Land Berlin Bestandsgeschichte: Der Aktenbestand der Galerie des 20. Jahrhunderts ist auf drei Standorte verteilt: - Landesarchiv Berlin, in dessen Zuständigkeitsbereich die Akten der Galerie des 20. Jahrhunderts fallen, - Berlinische Galerie und - Zentralarchiv der Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin. Die Schriftgutüberlieferung im Zentralarchiv kann folglich als Teilbestand und somit als Ergänzung zu den anderen beiden Überlieferungen angesehen werden. Im Mai 1996 übernahm das Zentralarchiv Akten aus der Neuen Nationalgalerie. Darunter befanden sich auch Akteneinheiten des damaligen Leiters der Galerie des 20. Jahrhunderts Adolf Jannasch. Die Akten wurden zunächst in den Bestand des Verwaltungsarchivs eingearbeitet, welches dem Zentralarchiv als Zwischenarchiv dient. Im Dezember 2009 wurden die Akten überarbeitet und in einen eigens dafür vorgesehenen Bestand innerhalb der Tektonik des Zentralarchivs überführt. Die Akten sind unter „II/Geschäftsakten der Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin ab 1945, der Museen SMPK ab 1957“ abgelegt. Die Überlieferung des Schriftgutes im Zentralarchiv umfasst 15 Akten, die in der Zeit von 1951 – 1974 entstanden sind. Der überwiegende Teil besteht aus Schriftwechselakten. Die inhaltlichen Schwerpunkte liegen zum einen auf Angeboten von Kunstwerken von Galerien, Kunsthändlern und Privatpersonen und zum anderen ist der Schriftverkehr mit Institutionen und Vereinen überliefert, der die Zusammenarbeit im kulturellen Bereich darlegt. Durch die Korrespondenz zwischen der Galerie des 20. Jahrhunderts und den Senatseinrichtungen des Landes Berlins wird die Verwaltungsarbeit des Museums ersichtlich. Neben den Korrespondenzakten sind drei Akten überliefert, in denen vorwiegend Rechnungsbelege vorzufinden sind. Des Weiteren ist eine Akte überliefert, in der die Protokolle der Ankaufskommission zusammengefasst wurden.

Featuring over 120 paintings spanning three major artistic movements, the exhibition illustrates the diversity and singularity of abstract art in Italy, seeking to afford more focused attention to a group of artists who revolutionized the historical sweep of painting in the context of interwar and postwar Europe and the United States. This exhibition concerns three periods from the early 1910s through the late 1950s, beginning with Giacomo Balla and Enrico Prampolini’s embrace of the Futurist manifesto and charting the development of Italian abstract painting under the growing political pressures of Fascism. The works on view are united in their vigorous challenge of the traditions of their time, each propelled by spirited experimentation and fervent revolutionary impulse. Often transcending the typical Futurist subject matter of racing car and mechanical city-scape, these works mark a distinct movement away from figuration as the primary vessel for an expression of feeling, instead investigating the emotional value of line, shape and color.

  • Wirkungsbereiche Von Frauen Im Expressionismus – Institutio­ Nelle Kunstförderung Und Literarische Produktion Parvati Vasanta
    Vasanta, Frauen im Expressionismus Wirkungsbereiche von Frauen im Expressionismus – institutio­ nelle Kunstförderung und literarische Produktion Parvati Vasanta Im Mittelpunkt der Untersuchung steht die Rolle der Frau bei der Verbreitung, Förderung, öffentlichen Etablierung und Produktion von Kunst und Literatur des Expressionismus. Unter der Schirmherrschaft der engagierten Frauenrechtlerin und Schriftstellerin Ida Deh­ mel (1870–1940) sowie der ersten promovierten Kunsthistorikerin Deutschlands Rosa Scha­ pire (1874–1954) gelang 1916 in Hamburg die Gründung des „Frauenbundes zur Förderung deutscher bildender Kunst“. Dieser leistete Pionierarbeit auf dem Gebiet der professionell geführten Kunstförderung durch Frauen – in diesem Fall bei der Kunst des Expressionismus. Er steht in der Tradition von Vereinen, die sich im Umfeld der Aktivitäten der deutschen Frauenbewegung herausbildeten, beerbt also letztlich ein politisches Engagement zugunsten eines gesellschaftlichen Status der Frau im Deutschen Kaiserreich und festigt ein neues weib­ liches Selbstverständnis. Die Bedeutung der Frau in Wirkungsbereichen des Expressionismus beweisen des Weiteren diverse Publikationen in der vielfältigen Zeitungslandschaft des Ex­ pressionismus. Es lassen sich zahlreiche literarische Texte von Schriftstellerinnen sowie poli­ tische Stellungnahmen von Frauenrechtlerinnen sichten, die eine individuelle, kritisch­ reflexive Sichtweise der wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Stellung der Frau offenbaren. 1. Einführung Die frühe literarische Moderne war geprägt durch
